2012 Clio Renault Sport 200 Cupnew features, same price

Renault has given the 2012 Clio Renault Sport 200 Cup a slight tweak while leaving the $36,490 price well alone.

The venerable hot-hatch Clio RS 200 Cup now receives leather upholstery for the sports seats, a white speedometer face instead of the previous yellow and new red stitching for the steering wheel, also instead of yellow.

The Clio’s colour palette has been re-jigged too with Alien Green and Mercury Grey removed leaving the previously available Liquid Yellow, Toro Red, Racing Blue and Black as the available choices.

The naturally aspirated 147kW/215Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine remains, bolted up to the same six-speed manual transmission.
